Guys really enjoyed that drive, especially the mid section where the pace increased, I echo that I have a new found appreciation of Qudra now!

Thanks @Yousef Alimadadi, @Frederic (Most notably for the 5am Ibiza beats and assistance with my dodgy valve haha) and @Janarthan, and finally getting to meet @Niki.

See you soon.

@Yousef Alimadadi Chapeau ! as we say in French  

I agree with @Niki the track you took did show us another facette of Al Qudra dunes and you managed to take us through a variety of challenges and techniques. I really enjoyed being your SL and glad I could help on different occasions.

@Frederic @Janarthan thank you for your support and the knowledge. 

And overall it was beautiful to see everyone riding in the convoy while we were looping around the big dunes !

See you all very soon.

Hi @Alain Canivet-Abikhalilas @Lakshmi Narasimhanpointed out , this is a Fewbie Plus drive . 
 

we have changed the structure, previously you could have joined with 5 Fewbie drives but now you actually need to have Fewbie Plus rank to join. 
 

sorry about that , hope to drive with you soon 

 

My bad 🙏🏽

Some other times then

Hi @Foxtrot Oscar would like to be on the WL for 2nd drive of the weekend just in case...

@PaoloMaraziti@darren thompson @Vanessa8580 same story here. That's ridiculous.

What happened ??

Really enjoyed being your second lead this morning @Lorenzo Candelpergher. It's usually my favorite position in a convoy. The sand is not churned up, you follow the lines of the expert... But waw what a challenge it was to keep up with your pace 😅 

And to top it all, the scenery was splendid !

I got to the office with a great feeling of accomplishment this morning

 

Thank you @Dodi Syahdar for the support, and have a lovely week everyone.

 

 

I do @Tamas Hoffmann

Just noticed it was a morning drive ^^

Can i be on waiting list just in case...

thank you @Brette @N@ved @Pacific @Mehmet Volga great drive.

Really enjoyed the different paths we took. 

Have a lovely week everyone.

@Luca Palanca Falsini thanks for the diverse upbeat drive, nothing like Faya on a Friday sunrise to get your blood going for the weekend! Everybody did awesome and we maintained solid momentum throughout. @TT_Dubai haha thank you for the compliment, me and the jimny certainly try our hardest to keep up with the V8 big dogs! @Alain Canivet-Abikhalil definitely send me some footage if you can! 

@Nathan Evans send me your email. I'll send tonight.

@Luca Palanca Falsini thank you for leading us this morning on that beautiful drive. An eclectic mix of dunes that allowed us all to enjoy, learn and test our capabilities. 

@Dodi Syahdar and @Mehmet Volga thank you for the support.

I didn't check the videos from the GoPro yet but I'll probably get a lot of footage of @Nathan Evans

@TT_Dubai had that same feeling after my first FB drive (it was also with @Luca Palanca Falsini by the way 😅

Nice weekend everyone and see you soon !

Thank you @Anish S @Islam Soliman @Ranjan Das for the beautiful track and the advices and support. 

Fossil Rock is an amazing place and the dunes you took us to today were a lot of fun. 

As a new fewbie, i got to push myself (and my car) a bit further and i found this challenge pretty satisfying. I enjoyed seeing everyone expressing their own style of driving it's a good way to learn.

And as usual, the company was great... see you soon !

Thank you @Brette I enjoyed being your 2nd lead.

It was a very nice ride in a beautiful scenery. And it's always lovely to meet new people

see you soon !

Kindly add to waiting list for first drive 

Managed to join another drive 🤗

My first fewbie drive, my first pre-office ride and I really enjoyed it a lot !
Definitely a different pace but also a big learning curve.

Thank you @Luca Palanca Falsini for leading this track and for the instructions.
Will definitely watch my fish tailing in the future as well as keeping up with the gas control.

@Gaurav and @Batuhan Kulac thanks for the advice and very nice to meet you. 

@Dodi Syahdar always a pleasure to see you

@Lakshmi Narasimhan keep it up bro 🦾

@Rawad Bahsas can't wait to receive your links

@Zed you are featured in all my GoPro videos...

And thank you everyone, looking forward to see you again.

Here is a video edit of the 2nd convoy...

Starring @Frederic  

Really enjoyed being second lead of @Frederic ! It was a very interesting ride, quick and smooth.

Sorry to see @TT_Dubai leave... stay honest to your marriage with the Wrangler ^^

@Wrangeld always a pleasure to ride with you

Thank you everyone for the spirit !

Thank you @Gaurav
I am glad to be part of this beautiful community

Congrats @Alain Canivet-Abikhalil

Thank you my friend

As it was my first time night drive I did have a bit of apprehension at first. But then I thought "@Chaitanya D knows what he's doing, I trust him" and when I saw @Wrangeld and @Jeepie as supports I was totally reassured to join this drive 😄

Interesting to see the dunes at night, feel the fresh desert breeze and always new learnings.

Thank you everyone, have a lovely weekend and see you next time.

@Ale Vallecchi I would like to be added to the waiting list.

@Chaitanya D Merci ! Enjoyed the drive so much
And thank you to all the convoy for the nice spirit.

Thanks again everyone...

Here's a little edit of yesterday's drive starring @Jeepie 😄
